Many think those awkward individuals are stupid but they can be very smart and even downright brilliant. Some of them may be on the Autism spectrum or known previously as an ... Read More |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 11/21/2017 1:12 PM EDT It has been twenty years since we were introduced to "The boy who lived" when J.K. Rowling's first book in the Harry Potter series debuted in the United Kingdom.

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 11/14/2017 11:04 AM EDT Ever since Luc Besson (The Fifth Element) was a ten-year-old boy, he has been fascinated with the French graphic novel Valerian and Laureline and has been trying to make it into a major motion picture for years. He even waived his salary for the film since it was a lifelong passion of his. This year saw the fruit of his labors... Read More |

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 11/13/2017 10:22 AM EDT Patti Cakes, Patti Cakes, bakers…this isn't that kind of movie. When one hears the term "patty cake", we generally think of the beloved children's game and hear that song running through our head. In this case, Patti Cake$ takes on a whole new meaning as it is a nickname Patricia Dombrowski's (Danielle Macdona... Read More |
 
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 11/10/2017 11:39 AM EDT It's hard to believe that it was twenty-five years ago that Kate (Catherine O'Hara; Frankenweenie) and Peter (John Heard; Big) McCallister lost track of their son Kevin (Macaulay Culkin; My Girl) for the second time in two years as the family went on vacation. I mean…really!?! Who forgets their ki... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 11/6/2017 10:46 AM EDT So many times in Hollywood films the alcoholism of one of the characters becomes the main focus of the film. We see the individual falling down, slurring their words, making horrible life choices, being abusive and destroying, at best, their own lives and at worst the lives of those around them. While The Glass Castle addresses the ... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 11/1/2017 9:03 AM EDT Last year, Mila Kunis (That 70's Show), Kristen Bell (Veronica Mars), and Kathryn Hahn (Transparent) made moms everywhere feel a little better about themselves and had us all laughing in the theater at Bad Moms.

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 10/24/2017 10:06 AM EDT In 2011, The Planet of the Apes saga found itself getting a reboot from the 1970's version of the story. In this reimagined world, we see how the apes became more intelligent as the movie focused on one specific ape named Caesar (Andy Serkis; The Lord of the Rings Trilogy).
